The Mossberg BBL 500 12GA slug barrel with rifled bore and 24-inch length transforms your Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88 into a dedicated slug gun built for accuracy. If you hunt thick timber or need to reach out on deer or elk at distances where buckshot falls short, a quality slug barrel is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. This factory replacement barrel pairs a rifled bore—which imparts spin to foster-stabilized slugs for tighter downrange groups—with adjustable rifle sights, giving you a straightforward aiming solution that doesn't demand an optics budget.
The matte finish resists glint and plays nice with outdoor lighting, while the 24-inch profile balances sight radius and maneuverability in brush country. At 2 pounds 8 ounces, it doesn't add significant weight to your shotgun, keeping the gun pointable and quick to shoulder. This barrel is sized for a 3-inch chamber and works with the standard 6-shot magazine tube found on most Mossberg 500 and Maverick 88 platforms—no extended tubes needed or compatible here, so verify your receiver before ordering.
Swapping barrels on a Mossberg 500 is as straightforward as shotgun work gets: a cross-pin takedown and you're ready to hunt. Pair it with quality slugs, dial in your sights, and you've got a no-frills, no-nonsense slug gun that punches above its weight class. Whether you're a seasoned slug hunter or new to shotgun deer hunting, this barrel delivers the accuracy and reliability Mossberg has built its name on.
| Gauge | 12 |
| Barrel Length | 24 inches |
| Bore Type | Rifled |
| Chamber | 3 inches |
| Sights | Adjustable rifle sights |
| Finish | Matte |
| Weight | 2 lbs 8 oz |
| Compatible Receivers | Mossberg 500, Maverick 88 (6-shot magazine tube only) |
Yes, this barrel is designed as a factory replacement for Mossberg 500 and Maverick 88 shotguns equipped with a standard 6-shot magazine tube. It is not compatible with extended magazine tubes, so confirm your receiver configuration before purchasing.
This barrel is optimized for rifled-slug ammunition, which has a plastic sleeve around the projectile that engages the rifling. The rifling imparts spin, delivering better accuracy than foster-style slugs from a smooth bore.
The barrel includes adjustable rifle sights, eliminating the need for a scope or red dot if you prefer traditional iron sights. They can be dialed to your preferred zero.
Mossberg 500 and Maverick 88 barrels are held in place by a cross-pin. Simply remove the pin to drop out your current barrel and slide the new slug barrel into place. No gunsmithing required.
